I'm already exhausted from a lifetime of having this argument with people who don't know what they're talking about.
On Monday, President Donald Trump did what he does best: He ignored science, lied to the American people and tried to shift blame so his fervent base had something to attack while ignoring the real problem. In the wake of two mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, Trump didn't talk about serious gun reform or why anyone would need an assault rifle in 2019. No, he pointed the finger at video games.
I could sit here and refute what Trump is saying, but it's honestly not worth my time or yours. He's wrong. Study after study has proved there is no link between violent video games and violent people. Video games are popular the world over, but only America sees these horrific mass shootings again and again. More than 166 million adults in the United States play games, according to the Entertainment Software Association, and there isn't anarchy in the streets.
"But the idea of these video games that dehumanize individuals to have a game of shooting individuals and others—I've always felt that is a problem for future generations and others," he said."We've watched from studies shown before of what it does to individuals."
